"The Jerry Doyle Show The Jerry Doyle Show Published 1-Oct-2012 in TRN Central News

Central Point, OR  Today begins the first in a series of changes to bring talk radio firmly into the 21st century. For too long, weve had to choose between ratings and salability, but no longer. Today the 6th largest syndicated talk show in America replaces what was the 3rd largest show, and in so doing, stations will get more light and less heat, a show that they can sell locally with pride, but also a show that will respect its stations, advertisers and audiences with a brilliance that sets great shows apart from good ones.

The show that premieres today in the 3pm to 6pm Pacific (6pm to 9pm Eastern) slot has earned its place in the Talkers Magazine rankings as the 6th largest syndicated talk radio show in America, through merit. TRN Enterprises owns no stations  our shows have to earn their keep and stations love what this show does for them - through merit alone.

Today that show will jump several spots to become the new 3rd or 4th largest syndicated show in the United States.

Jet pilot, Wall Street investment banker for 10 years, Hollywood star for 12 years, former congressional nominee and now radio giant who has earned his right to this spot for close to 9 years. Jerry Doyle is the future of talk radio. He will bring massive audiences through word of mouth because he is brilliant and funny, showing both emotional and intellectual range that is beyond rare.

The Jerry Doyle Show is eminently saleable. He understands the advertising business like few others; Jerry is a triple-rated William Morris Agency voice-over artist who has voiced national ads for AT&T, Chevrolet, TGI Fridays, Anheiser-Busch, Panasonic, The US Armed Forces and many others.

Jerry will work with his stations reading their ads and promos, because he understands radio isnt about host ego, its about high levels of performance, and its about business.

Jerry shows up 5 days a week, 3 full hours a day because his work ethic is second to none.

Mark Masters, CEO of TRN Enterprises, notes that, Jerry Doyle is the vanguard of talk radios next evolutionary step, and he has been setting the standard for talk radios profitable, saleable and sustainable future for some time now, with commentary that is entertaining, memorable and responsible. Good work Jerry, as you jump from the 6th largest show to the 3rd largest show in America - you deserve this day  you have earned it.

In Pittsburgh he’s a late night talker and I’ve never been able to figure out if he was live or time shifted.

He’s a very good, sensible and articulate host. He’s not a bomb thrower and left the R’s to be an I 5 years ago. I haven’t noticed any contradictions or hypocrisy in his positions when I’ve heard him over the years. I’m not an active listener who tunes in just because he’s on but will listen to him when I’m driving etc.

RIMMER: Billy Doyle. Well, that's a name that came from the wrong side of the the tracks, isn't it? You can see it all now: a youth spent in and out of corrective institutions. A string of illegitimate children. The wife will be all white shoes, no tights, and blotchy legs.

Has to take up petty crime to cover the court orders for maintenance. Before he knows it he's standing in a bank with a sawn-off shotgun. Somehow it goes off. An old lady gets both barrels through a crocheted bobble hat. All he can do is hide. But where? And then it hits him -- with all his ill-gotten gains he can buy four years in a computer game and wait until the heat's off. So ends the Ballad of Billy "Granny Killer" Doyle.

It's also ironic that Jerry Doyle's ex-wife Andrea Thompson (also of B5 fame, and NYPD Blue, too) also tried to break into the newsie business by anchoring on CNN Headline News for a year. She wasn't as successful as Doyle has become.

( It doesn't I naturally when you're not natural born.)

If he was the guy I was listening to tonight he sounded like a rino. He was saying that the republican party is too right and too white. It also needs to bring more diversity into its ranks. I changed the station in disgust while he was ranting against conservatives who complain about media bias and the rigged polls.

(America is being destroyed by filthy traitors in the political establishment)

JD has replaced Savage with TRN; that's all. It's highly unlikely he can keep very much of Savage's audience. Doyle had the advantage of appearing when most of the big names are safely off the air and he had no competition, and Savage's audience is simply not going to go for him.

He's just "OK."

If Savage can sign with a new syndication partner, I would not look for Doyle or TRN to hold the timespot in any major market for very long.

(When a first-rate intellectual like Samuel L. Jackson makes this kind of a video ... well ...)

If he has done a better show than Savage, where has he been?
He may fill the time slot, but will never have the numbers Savage had.
The airways are filled with middle of the roaders. Doyle will just be another one.

Eff the left. Are there any Execs with balls anymore? Savage is great, he was the Evangelist that made me realize I am a Conservative. I didn’t care about politics until 9/11/01. I was 26 at the time and 4 years honorably discharged from the Marines.

He’s an “Independent” that has some good stuff, some not so good, a very irritating alter ego voice and an absolute visceral hatred of social conservatives. I usually have to turn him off if I start listening.
